In conjunction with the Council’s Adult and Community Services Directorate and the Primary Care Trust, the Children, Young People and Families Directorate have produced a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) of Health and Well Being in Oldham.
In relation to children and young people, the JSNA identifies the key issues around health and well being within the wider context of what life in Oldham is like across the whole population. The JSNA predicts what some of the key challenges facing Oldham over the next fifteen years are likely to be including a population growth within some of our most deprived areas and the implications for child poverty. The findings of the JSNA have informed priorities in Oldham’s new Children and Young People Plan and will also be used to drive wider plans and strategies in the future.

A huge piece of research was undertaken in Oldham: A Needs Analysis of what the children, young people, parents and carers of Oldham need to achieve the Every Child Matters five outcomes: Staying Safe, Being Healthy, Enjoying and Achieving, Making a Positive Contribution, and Achieving Economic Wellbeing.
The results reveal interesting and insightful thoughts which will be used to shape the policies and procedures around integrated Children's Services.
